Health - 7 June 2006

The US Center for Disease Control has stated that soon obesity will overcome smoking as the #1 preventable cause of death within the next 10 years. 8 years ago, 50% of the US was overweight or obese. Now it's over 60%. Why are we killing ourselves with overeating, lack of exercise and endless excuses? Why don't we want to be healthy?

What will happen if someone gives oral sex to a person infected with crabs?

I know that when an individual's genitals are infected with crabs, the parasites feed on the skin. If a person's mouth is infected with the disease, do the same results occur? Can someone's mouth even get infected by the disease?

ADD, ADHD, Hyperactive Disorders?? Alternatives to Medicines?

My son probably has ADHD. He was being tested for it, and I stopped the testing when they spoke of medicating him. I do not knock parents who allow their children to go on meds for this, but in my situation, I just can not bring myself to allow my child to take them. I am not sure what the side effects will be down the road, and I prefer not to take a chance. When my child becomes an adult, if need be, he can chose whether or not he needs medications. I don't want to make that decision for him. I don't feel I have the right to do this, altering who he is for the purpose of others to be able to deal with him easier. He is a happy child, but extremely hyper. Anyone feel the same way? Anyone tried an alternative to medication? Any success? Please don't anyone think I am downing medication that is working for your child. If it works for you then thats great. I am just interested in learning about ALL types of resolutions here.

Gunshot wound HELP! PLEASE!?

I got shot in the leg a few hours ago by the police, I can't go to the hospital or they'll catch me. It's not bleeding anymore, but how do I get the bullet out? It didn't go through, But it feels like it's next to the bone. Is it best to just leave it in? It hurts like a MF. Any help would be appreciated. But please don't waste my time or yours by suggesting the hospital.

Can you add tint to temporary filling materials?

I tripped a couple of days ago and chipped one of my front teeth. Of course, my dentist can't fit me in to fix the problem for three weeks, so he recommended over-the-counter temporary filling material to hold me over. The problem is -- eek -- I'm a smoker and a cola addict, and my teeth aren't as bright white as they should be, even after dental cleanings, etc. However, the filling material is incredibly bright white. Does anyone know anything I can do to tint this stuff when I apply it so at least it doesn't scream "Hey, look at the guy with the screwed up front tooth"?
